I only take in the first part. “What do you mean, beautiful? Are you drinking on the job?” I tease. The man has to be on something to say that. Of course, he also called me adorable. Definitely under the influence.

“I allow myself one drink. Not enough to diminish my ability to see the truth. Don’t you know how cute you are?” When I don’t respond, Caleb leans in closer. “I want to kiss you.” Again, he’s met with my shocked silence. “Do you want to kiss me, Nicholas?” I nod, and he places his drink down before standing up abruptly. “Come.” He takes my hand, and a hot current rushes up my arm, so distracting that I let him pull me from my chair and lead me through the club.

“Where are we going?” I ask, uncertain and excited.

“My office,” Caleb says over his shoulder. Just as I start to wonder why he’s taking me to his office for a kiss as opposed to here, he suddenly stops and lowers his mouth to my ear. “I like to keep my personal life very private, and I have a feeling one kiss with you won’t be enough.” He nips my earlobe and I gasp.

I can only smile and nod in agreement before he winks and takes me with him.
